LDEORH, LDEORAH, LDEORALH, LDEORLH

Atomic Exclusive-OR on halfword in memory atomically loads a 16-bit halfword from memory, performs an exclusive-OR with the value held in a register on it, and stores the result back to memory. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register.

If the destination register is not WZR, LDEORAH and LDEORALH load from memory with acquire semantics.
LDEORLH and LDEORALH store to memory with release semantics.
LDEORH has neither acquire nor release semantics.

For more information about memory ordering semantics, see Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

This instruction is used by the alias STEORH, STEORLH.

Assembler Symbols

<Ws>	Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field.

<Wt>	Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Alias Conditions

Alias	Is preferred when
STEORH, STEORLH	A == '0' && Rt == '11111'

Operation

bits(64) address;
bits(16) value;
bits(16) data;

AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescAtomicOp(MemAtomicOp_EOR, acquire, release, tagchecked);

value = X[s, 16];
if n == 31 then
    CheckSPAlignment();
    address = SP[];
else
    address = X[n, 64];

bits(16) comparevalue = bits(16) UNKNOWN;    // Irrelevant when not executing CAS
data = MemAtomic(address, comparevalue, value, accdesc);

if t != 31 then
    X[t, 32] = ZeroExtend(data, 32);

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
